GPL- Does the smoke in this screenshot look the way it is meant to?

Looks just like my VD2 at 640X480. So, I'll assume that it is supposed to look like that. Mike Barlow

I am getting a funny flywire type texture in the smoke effects in GPL I am running it at 640 x 480 on a Voodoo 1 so I don't expect the world, but is this how the smoke should look? The rest of the game looks great, although i am getting some funny textures in the black area at the top of the screen on odd occasions. http://www.iinet.net.au/~scova/images/GPLss04.jpg Thanks, Steve Cova

Of course it's how it should be :) It's the famous pink smoke see through a mosquito screen. It's well known as a Glide limitation for all the games.

Yep, that's how the smoke looks on my V2 as well. Now, it should look smooth but thats what we are stuck with on the Voodoo 1 and 2. To anyone who has the V3, is the smoke still the same? Jason.

Yep, still the same. Although, you can run at a bit higher resolution (1024x768) so the mosquito-net effect is not so visible :-) But the same goes for Voodoo2 too. -Juha --

Smoke, Smoke, you guys are worried about smoke, But i think he has a bigger problem. a brief examination of the screenshot also convinced me his video card is only putting out half the picture... I mean...where are the other two wheels? dave henrie -- On May 17, 1999 A Whale was killed off the coast of Washington State.

Yeah, probably just a 16-bit resolution problem (not enough color resolution, so alpha-ing doesn't work that well). Ruud van Gaal MarketGraph / MachTech: http://www.marketgraph.nl Art: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery
